^JPON this page, each issue for the past year, we have tried 
to tell you something about our Apple Seedlings and there 
is more that could be told. 
The fact that upon the quality of the root depends 
the stand—the cleanness—also the vigor of the trees—makes it a 
subject that all who grow Apple trees are more or less interested in. 
What percent of your trees this year had root knot? 
You can cut down the percent by using better roots. 
What proportion of No. 1 trees didy our block turnout? 
A better quality of roots would have brought you a larger pro¬ 
portion of better trees. 
Use the best. Our seedlings have all been sprayed— 
are thoroughly mantured—and will be graded high. We guaran¬ 
tee arrival at your depot in perfect condition.
